The fiery Lou Piniella rolled into town as the Mariners' new skipper and immediately paid dividends by guiding the club to 82 wins. On April 22 pitcher Chris Bosio, in just his fourth start as a Mariner, walked the first two batters faced and then proceeded to retire the next 27 for the club's second no-hitter. The game ended on a bare-handed grab and throw by shortstop Omar Vizquel. Seattle was 82-80 on the year. 1993 stats >
